Observations on Responsibility : with Special reference to Intermodal Freight Transport Networks

Abstract

The question of responsibility has been the subject of lot of interest and debate. This work will shed light on responsibility – and sustainability – in the context of transportation with a special emphasis on intermodal freight. This publication provides a subjective - and an impressionistic - interpretation of the concept of responsibility. It is a prelude with the target of encapsulating certain attributes that affect and explain the decisions and policies of responsibility. At the outset of the research, the decision was made to embrace the theme in a more general manner than to limit it to the examination on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR or related acronyms and practices).
